Deleting the auto-complete, auto-save dictionary

Hello all,

My phone is a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 with update 2.1.

     Ive been browsing through the web trying to find a solution to this problem and ive come up with no luck, so i thought i would post it here. My phone has i guess auto saved some incorrect words into its memory. For instance i spelled "lol" "lok" once, and now whenever i type in "lol", it auto corrects it to "lok". The same thing happens with the word "That's". for some reason i typed it "ThAt's" and now thats what it auto corrects it to. Another one is "she's". When i type she's it auto corrects it to "SHES"

     I have checked the "User Dictionary" in the phone, but there is absolutley nothing in it saved. So i was wondering if there is any way to delete the words that it auto saved or reset them so it stops doing that. I dont wat to turn auto correct off because it is really helpful most of the time with the punctuation and such.

     Thanks in advace!

-Kyle

and try to find "messaging" app

after that click on clear data..

it'll delete all the messages and  those words which were remembered Slightly_smiling_Face

Hi, I don't think it is possible to remove words that are learnt. Either you disable auto correction or live with it.

Its strange though because the only "messaging" app its bringing up is the Yahoo one that i dont use.

Im trying to find the default Messaging app that came with the phone but i cant find it anywhere in the applications menu

Slightly_frowning_Face eh well i guess ill disable it then. i just dont think i can put up with having to go back and correct the mis spelled word when im already halfway through the message.

Probably you could select 'Word suggestions only', you have the choice to tap the correct word. Slightly_smiling_Face

Yeah, i dont think i really want ot go through the hassel of reseting my whole phone and all that jazz, i just thought there was a storage place for all those words it "learned" and from there i would be able to delete them. But it looks as though there isnt.
